Gorgeous Winery Wedding by Jill Thomas
One of my most favourite things about the blogging world, is connecting with incredible people who are warm, kind and super easy to chat with. Even better, is finding other bloggers who share similar passions as you do. I recently connected with Liz from Portland to Peonies (well we met via the net but I remember finding her blog many moons ago and am not sure why we have taken so long to connect until now!) Liz got hitched this past summer to the love of her life and since she's so sweet and had the loveliest wedding ever, I asked her if I could brag about her wedding here. Thankfully she said yes :) The fabulous Jill Thomas captured the big day which was infused with incredible details, the most perfect simplicity and of course lots and lots of love.
Can I just admit how much I adore mix matched bridesmaids dresses?! Gah, why didn't I think of that?! The flowers were done by family members and the bride's mother designed and handmade the brides gorgeous lace gown. Liz told her Ma she wanted cap sleeves and heavy lace and she got this dreamy one of a kind gown that fit her to a T. Combined with her soft curls, flower hair pin and incredible looks; oh Liz! You looked just beautiful! Not to mention your bridesmaids are pretty gorg too.
The couple also opted for a first look prior to the ceremony and Liz has nothing but incredible things to say about the experience. Thanks to the extra time the first look provided the two love birds were able to take lots of fabulous portraits together amongst the incredible scenery of the winery. I love love love the above image (for more drool-worthy pics of the first look and portraits you must go see the full recap Liz did over at her blog!) And as a first-look bride myself I have to admit it's quite the magical experience.
Congrats Liz and Corey! Here's to many more fabulous years of happiness and lurve! Liz thanks for sharing your big day and for being such a lovely new blogging friend.

Somehow your recap of our wedding brought tears to my eyes! You are the sweetest and I am SO glad we have met (if only over the net!). Someday I hope we can meet in person because I'm SURE we would be the best of friends!
Thank you again for featuring our day!!!
P.S. SO exciting you get to see your hubs this weekend! Yay love! :)
I was just thinking about how I might enjoy a winery wedding one day...very whimsical and cute!

OMG Her dress was my DREAM dress! I had it in a file for months before we even got engaged but then when I went to try it on I kind of sort of looked like a linebacker. She, however, looks just as adorable in it as I had hoped I would- perhaps even more so :) GORGE, LOVE!
Just re-read and saw that her MOM designed and sewed it? Wellll that is half true...it was def based on an oscar de la renta...and it def EVEN BETTER than the one designed by mr dlr...impressive.
Amazing. From the ring, to the bride's hair to the bridesmaid dresses, I love this wedding! Thanks for sharing.

Hi Rhi - I follow Liz's blog (maybe I found it through yours?) and anyway I agree that these pictures are just to die for. Gorgeousness. She is so pretty and the setting wonderful. I loved the non-matching bridesmaids dresses too - so good for expressing personalities without straying too far from the theme. It's always kinda sad when you see a set of bridesmaids who have been shoe-horned into the same dress irrespective of size and style. Anyhow - these wedding images are lovely. Lou x
What a gorgeous and wholly sentimental and beautiful wedding! Your friend is just so lovely and I'm amazed by the dress her mom made! This wedding is too drool-worthy. Thanks for sharing and glad you get to see your honey soon!
